"The gas meter is running, but the nozzle is sitting on my truck. This is in Northern Kentucky, in Florence, this is showing you how they are burning you on our fuel. Haven't squeezed the trigger once, and its already up to 8 cents."

Poff says this was not a case of air stuck in the hose, where you don't receive fuel for a few seconds. That is normal, and happens everywhere.

He claims the pump started charging him even before he pulled the trigger.

"I had my cup of coffee in my hand," he said, "so I took the pump, put it on the back of my truck, walked to the front of my truck, put my coffee in my truck, turned around, and saw the pump on 6 cents."

It appeared to be charging him even though he hadn't pulled the release handle, charging a cent every few seconds.

So he posted it to his Facebook page, and the reaction was immediate: the video was shared more than 30,000 times, turning the gas station into a tourist attraction of sorts.

One man who briefly stopped by the station told us "I had to come up and see it for myself!"

Inspection Finds a Problem

State officials noticed too: The Kentucky Department of Agriculture Weights and Measures Division stopped by unannounced and inspected the pumps.

"We found that two pumps were advancing before delivering," a spokesman for the state told us.

"Following a thorough inspection of all dispensers and hoses at Speedway locations in the Florence, Ky., area, we found one dispenser at one store location that was not operating properly. We immediately replaced the nozzle, hose and associated hardware. The dispenser was tested and placed back into service. Speedway takes all customer concerns and complaints seriously."
